Gangwon take on the visitors Jeonbuk in the round 26 match of South Korean K League 1. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 3rd at Chuncheon Songam Stadium (Chuncheon).
Probably, no one will envy the hosts - the team is fighting for getting into the playoffs, but after the clash with the leader Ulsan, they still have to meet with Chonuk. In the meantime, the gap from the sixth position is already two points. Not critical of course, but they need to take points. The hosts’ attack is on fire, scoring seven goals in two rounds. In addition, at own field, Gangwon failed to score only three times during the season. Is there a chance to compete for at least a draw in this round? It will not even depend on attacking abilities, but on defense. In two head-to-head confrontations of the current season, the hosts scored in both cases. And in general, the team is one of the leaders in breaking through the total of 2.5 goals per match. True, for the most part due to the greater abundance of goals conceded.

Jeonbuk Motors are five points behind Ulsan. The leaders in the last rounds regularly gain the same number of points, the only problem is that any victory is given to the visitors with difficulty. Again, there are no complaints about the attack, and their problems are laying in the defense. Ahead of the game on several fronts – this league match and head-to-head with Ulsan and a little later the playoffs of the Champions League. The “Green Warriors” are excellent at achieving results in away matches, but their defense has not been without mistakes lately.
Jeonbuk is the fair favorite of the confrontation? Most likely so, but bookmakers offer odds slightly higher than two for three points of one of the leaders, which means there are doubts. It is unlikely that Gangwon will play on defense, the “Orange” have something to lose and they need points. Considering the scoring extravaganza recently, while the weak defense of the hosts, given the same for the “green warriors”, the logical outcome would be to bet that both clubs will be able to hit each other's gates at least once, as it has already happened during the current season.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
